If Satoshi Nakamoto is a person and alive, wont he come out and claim the fame and success his invention has achieve so far?
He will not come out in the open for a reason he cant compromise his bitcoin holding and he might be a target for criminal acts and his family. To have million of bitcoin in hand wont give you any freedom to claim the fame and it might also be the chance of the government to tax everything you have.
There is more damaging things when he come out than advantages of hiding.
